ISO 14971 training

ISO 14971:2019 Risk Management Requirements Workshop

Course Description
ISO 14971:2019 “Medical devices — Application of risk management to medical devices” defines a standard process for identifying risks associated with medical devices at all stages in a device’s life cycle, from product design to production and post production use. The goal of ISO 14971 training is to develop a risk management plan that is capable of assessing, evaluating, identifying controls, and monitoring the risks associated with each life-cycle stage.

To help understand ISO 14971:2019 the course will use ISO 24971:2020 “Medical devices— Guidance on the application of ISO 14971” which is a companion document. Tools and techniques described in ISO 24971:2020 will be used to demonstrate how risks can be assessed and evaluated.

Finally, this ISO 14971 training course will review ISO 13485:2016, “Medical devices — Quality management systems —Requirements for regulatory purposes” where the concepts from ISO 14971:2019 and ISO 24971:2020 can be applied.
